Roger Federer – Forehand Magician

Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it on the blog 🙂 as usual not much to write about at this time of year but I thought I'd share 2 videos that were released over the last couple of days. The first by Raz Ols which compiles some of Roger's forehands over the years, no fancy flicks etc. just pure hard hitting winners from everywhere imaginable on the court:

The next one is by tribute maker Isaac RF called Roger Federer – Relentless Passion (HD) and is very well put together:

Anyway enjoy! Brisbane is edging ever closer and Fed is hard at work in Dubai training, yesterday with Dolgopolov as per his Instagram.

Huge fan of Roger Federer - I'll pretty much try and watch all his matches from Grand Slam level right down to ATP 250. When I'm not watching or tweeting about tennis I play regularly myself and use this blog to share my thoughts on Fed and tennis in general.

Great videos! Really enjoyed them. Can’t wait for the tennis season to start! I decided not to go to Brisbane this time as when I was checking out the tickets for semis and the final in early Nov, there were no good tickets left. I felt if I couldn’t be at court side, TV might work just fine.

I am, well, was going to Melbourne. Not to AO though but Kooyong instead, coz I really wanted to see Richard Gasquet live. The tickets were so cheap and accommodation costs reasonable. Just found out today he’s pulled put three tournaments, Doha, Kooyong and AO due to a back injury. I’ll probably cancel my trip. Rather stupid to let an exho cost you a slam, isn’t it??

I’ve been watching the crazy weather everywhere. Jonathan, you said you are on higher ground so assuming you are ok.
The States are getting hit with tornadoes, floods, wild fires, blizzards…unreal. Wondering if Sid is ok, tornadoes touching down in Dallas.
Bad in South America too.
Here is cold and clear. Tons of powder on the mountains.

Thanks for all the video memories – I remember quite a few and hope for many more + some of those fantastic flicks which bring a smile to all our faces.

Glad to hear you’re up on higher ground and have avoided the flooding. OK here in SW, but not far away from places on the coastline which are getting pounded. A really shitty time for those in the north. 🙁

Happy New Year to all peRFect tennis friends and looking forward to a great tennis 2016…not long now. 🙂

Some good points in there, I just tweeted another good one of Feds best points vs. Djoker which is worth a watch.

Re flooding A lot of places that don’t normally suffer too badly up here have really taken a hit. The tennis courts I play on are completely wrecked. Must be a nightmare if it gets in your house though.

Hey all sweet people, hope you had a great Christmas and wishing you all a very happy and prospective 2016. May all your good wishes come true and may you shine in your personal life.
Also may the reason we all are here, the Goat, shine THE MOST in 2016. He sooooooo deserves a year like Rafa had in 2013 and like Satan had in 2015. Hope 2016 will be his turn to win it all (are you listening God?). Come on Ivan and Seve…. make it possible 🙂

Very sorry to hear about the floods in England. Hope you Jon and all your loved ones are oke. Sue sorry to hear about the earthquake. Hope you are oke too. Just heard about the fire in Dubai. Luckily no one got hurt. Hope Roger is oke too.

Speaking about Roger…. as much as I love him……. can someone please give him a very soft slap on the face !!! Dude…. is it ONLY your responsibility to make sure Switserland gets medals?? Why are you even considering dubs with Stan when you already will be playing singles and dubs with Martina?? Don’t you know that USO is right after that?? You are 34 years old dude…. please go for your OWN wins. You already gave Switserland so much…. you basically put them sportswise on the map. I know you will play till you are 40, which means you have a lot of times (even after the R-word like Hingis) to get medals.
Sorry….had to get that out 🙂

Yeah that fire was crazy, I saw pics of the aftermath, looked like it had ripped through the place.

Stan said he’s not sure about Doubles yet. Cincy straight after Olympics, least it’s on the same side of the world though time zone wise but still a long flight. No idea where you’d fly from Rio or Sao Paulo to where in the USA?

Hey Jon, many have said this before, but really thanks for all your hard work with the blog. This year with all my courses and exams, work and personal stuff I had been so busy that I couldn’t even comment a lot. And you…. beeing more busy, still having time to find things out, blog about it, comment and reply to our comments. Respect dude, really respect. I would like to say “take a b..”, but appearently I have said that sentence wayyyyy too much 🙂 🙂

Hope Roger will give you much good to blog about in 2016. And remember 31 May 2016 right? 5 years !! You have half the year to think about doing something special 🙂

Oh and Jon, lastly, just wanted to say before I forget that I agree with you on IPTL. It will last a few years, but I don’t think it will last very long. Even this year sooooo many days sooooo many empty seats. Roger (and Rafa) did get the stadiums almost sold out, but one day Roger in Dubai and Rafa in India had so many empty seats, more people normally come to see them practise 🙂
And not just the empty stadiums, some teams just seamed that they were not enjoying it that much. Last year it was new, now…. there was a different vibe. The only team that really seamed to have fun were the Indian Aces…. but ofcourse they were winning it all. I read such a great tweet that said that the Indian Aces were the Djoko of tennis, unbeatable. But they turned out to be Roger… winning it all except the final 🙂

Can I go for both? 🙂 Seriously, have no friends who are interested in SW, and since I’m not either, and don’t feel like wasting £10 on it (yes, that’s really what prices in outer London are these days) …

A happy 2016 to all FedFans! As for wishes mine are so – 1) So grateful to watch Roger playing happily. 2) his winning all, of course – – but first is really it
And Thanks Jonathan, for this stimulating FedFan-Meeting Place!

About peRFect Tennis

Hey, I’m Jonathan. I started up peRFect Tennis back in May 2011 because I wanted to be able to share my thoughts on Tennis, and on my favourite player Roger Federer.

I first took notice of Fed back in 2001 when he beat Sampras at Wimbledon. Back then, like most Brits I was a Henman fan, clinging onto the belief he could still win Wimbledon.In fact, I was actually glad Tim beat Roger at Wimbledon that year!

Ever since then though, I’ve followed Federer’s career closely, been lucky enough to see him play live on several occasions and now use this blog to analyse matches, make predictions, and share everything and anything Federer related.

If you want to learn abit more about peRFect tennis and what to expect from my blog, then head over to my about page.
